4. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your cooker hood.
Cleaning Metal Grease Filters:
The metal grease filters efficiently capture grease particles from cooking fumes. They should be cleaned regularly to maintain airflow and efficiency. The LED saturation indicator will signal when cleaning is required.
- Removal: Carefully unlatch and remove the metal grease filters from the hood.
- Cleaning: The filters can be easily cleaned in a dishwasher or by hand using hot water and a mild detergent. Ensure they are completely dry before re-installing.
- Re-installation: Slide the clean, dry filters back into their slots until they click into place.
Replacing Carbon Filters (for Recirculation Mode):
If your hood is operating in recirculation mode, the activated carbon filters (charcoal filters) absorb odors. These filters cannot be washed and must be replaced periodically, typically every 3-6 months depending on usage.
- Refer to the specific instructions provided with your carbon filters for replacement procedures.
General Cleaning:
- Wipe the exterior surfaces of the hood with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
